Can RowFold create or change a booking in FlexBooker?
No. This integration reads: it brings appointments, customers, staff, services and locations into RowFold, and sends nothing back. Cancelling, rescheduling and booking all stay in FlexBooker, where the availability rules and the customer emails live. If you want RowFold to act on a booking — a follow-up email, a task, a message to a colleague — it can do that from its own automations, without touching the calendar.
How current is the table after the first import?
Turn on Keep in sync and it re-imports hourly or daily, your choice. A scheduled run reads the last sixty days and the next twelve months, which is where bookings actually change: new ones appear, times move, statuses and no-shows get set. A booking older than sixty days is left as it was until somebody presses Import again, which reads the full twelve months back.
Do cancelled bookings and no-shows come across?
Yes, both, and that is deliberate. A cancellation is a change to a booking your table already holds, so leaving it out would leave the row looking busy for ever. Cancelled bookings arrive with their reason where FlexBooker recorded one, and a no-show is a column you can filter and count. What no import does is delete: a booking removed at FlexBooker stays in RowFold, where you can see it.
Where do the API credentials come from?
FlexBooker support issues them — a client ID and a secret — and there is no button for them in the merchant dashboard, so email support@flexbooker.com to ask. RowFold exchanges the pair for a short-lived token on every call rather than storing one, and the secret is encrypted at rest like every other connection credential. Disconnecting the integration in RowFold stops all of it at once.
Which clock are the times on?
The one FlexBooker shows you: your account's time zone, the same one its own booking export uses. If a location sits in a different zone, each appointment there also carries the local time at that location, exactly as that export adds a column for it. If your RowFold workspace is set to another zone, the import says so and tells you which one to set, because filters like "in the next 7 days" and automation timings read the workspace's clock.
Do class bookings come in as well as appointments?
Yes. FlexBooker keeps classes and one-to-one appointments separately, and the import brings both into one table, marking each row Appointment or Class. A class booking carries its class as its service and its instructor as staff where one is assigned. The two can share a numeric id inside FlexBooker, so each row is matched on its confirmation reference instead — which is what stops one overwriting the other on a later sync.
What happens to my own columns and links?
They are left alone. The import owns the columns it made and writes only those; anything you add — a status of your own, a note, a link to another table — is never touched, on the first run or the hundredth. Records are updated in place rather than replaced, so comments, history and links from other tables survive. The one thing to know is that the source wins on its own columns: edit an imported cell and the next sync puts FlexBooker's value back.
How much of my customer list does it bring?
All of it when you press Import, up to ten thousand customers, with each one's total bookings, last booking date, notes and custom field answers. A scheduled sync deliberately skips the list and only adds customers it meets on new bookings, because FlexBooker serves that list ten at a time and reading it hourly would be a heavy, pointless load on your account. Press Import when you want everyone's totals refreshed.
